Assessment Table of Specifications - (Analyzed by Item)

Using the Table of Specifications to build an assessment is the second step of the assessment development process. The purpose of this table is to detail the content, level of cognitive demand, amount, type, and answer or point value of the measurement items/or tasks. Typically, this is used while also building the assessment. The post-administration analysis should be revisited after completion of the assessment to review and reflect on the results.

Please Note: There are two (2) versions of the ToS available for use: One is organized sequentially by item, and one holistically by standard. LEAs should choose the option that best fit their needs.
